This letter writer is all over the place. First wondering if any of those against it are from Bahamas and then saying **"My family and I have been to The Bahamas and witnessed its lovely people. "** So this person isn't Bahamian either. Of all the idiotic items the writer said i can't decide which is the worst. Is it **"In the extremely unlikely event of an accident that cannot be contained, the ocean currents off northern Cuba head to Florida and not The Bahamas anyway"** or **"To debate safety and the environment after an oil discovery is welcome. "** I am sure if the first is correct Bahamas will be able to deal with the fallout of a Florida wanting payments for any destruction of its environment. And on the second part, surely you would want to debate the safety and environment BEFORE you drill and discover oil.
The hotel has been closed due to the government policies (no tourists). government has now opened the borders and the hotel says it will re-open as there will be guests. Not sure how hard it is to understand that and see other malicious intent there.
The article does state that they were able to increase the amount returned by $5 odd million, so i guess the creditors did get a good return. If you read the article you will see these figures.
Its not up to them to provide the cost benefit analysis, it is up to the oil drillers to do that. They need to show why this country should go ahead with it. And they should not just show a number but show how they got to that figure. But they won't as they know it doesn't make economic sense.
I didn't say enough oil in Trinidad to enrich us, i said in Bahamas. Please show me the data that shows the oil will be able to keep all those currently employed in the tourist industry employed .
They need to open up, if both parents are lucky enough to work they will need the children to go back to school. If its unsafe for school children (who are the least at risk) then it is unsafe for all of us.
They are not saying don't use oil completely. But as you think we should drill please show me proof that there is enough oil to enrich us should there be a spill and we don't have tourists come nor will our fisheries survive. If there is then thats fine lets do it. If not then do you really think its worth the risk?
